Italy’s Invictus Yachts was at the recent Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show with the premiere of a model that’s specifically designed for American boaters who want an upscale addition to their fleet: the Invictus TT430S America.
Designed by Christian Grande, the TT430S America can be used as a family’s sole boat, or as a tender to a mega-yacht. It has triple 400-horsepower outboard engines combined with the kinds of upscale design details for which Grande has become known, taking influences from the superyacht sector of interior and exterior design.
“Invictus TT430S America belongs to the luxury tender category,” Grande stated in a press release. “While often used as chase boats, they exemplify the essence of luxury through meticulous attention to detail, a hallmark of the Invictus brand.”
According to the Invictus team, construction of the Invictus TT430S America is intended to withstand the heat of regions such as Florida. Its fiberglass undergoes a heat stabilization process that enhances its durability and resistance to high temperatures, for structural integrity over time.
The profile of the Invictus TT430S America is defined by the lines of its windshield, which integrate into the carbon hardtop. The integral glass windshield with wipers is unusual for a boat of this size.
Aft, the cockpit layout is intended to function as a “beach” on the water for entertaining guests, relaxing, socializing and participating in watersports activities. A U-shaped sofa faces the sea and transforms into a sunbathing area, as well as a dining area. The folding central table can be lowered to form a large cushion or can be set up for an al fresco meal.
For shade and shelter, a lightweight carbon-fiber hardtop covers the entire living area, with an extendable awning toward the stern. The awning is supported by carbon-fiber poles, while a stainless steel system protects the crew and guests during navigation. These features are inspired by larger yachts. They can be removed and stowed, freeing up the stern area for recreational and sporting activities.
Belowdecks, the Invictus TT430S America is open with a U-shaped sofa that converts to a double berth. A separate aft stateroom has twin berths, and there’s a head with a separate shower—also unusual for a boat in this size range.
Can the Invictus TT430S America be customized? Yes. Owners can choose hull colors as well as interior finishes, including premium leathers.
